Born Oct. 29, 1977, in the British Columbia hamlet of New Westminster, Brendan Fehr moved with his family to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and began modeling while in his teens. He landed work in local sportswear catalogues, and during a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, in the fall of 1997 to visit his family, Fehr looked into potential modeling work there. Within a week he was signed by his current manager and had landed a guest-starring role on the Canadian series Breaker High. Changing his plan to earn a teaching degree from the University of Manitoba, he decided to give acting a serious try.

Fehr went on to guest-star twice on Millennium (as two different characters) and on two episodes of The New Addams Family (as the same character). He also guest-starred on the syndicated superhero series Night Man and starred in the telefilms Our Guys, alongside Eric Stoltz and Ally Sheedy, Perfect Little Angels and Every Mother's Worst Fear.

His feature-film credits include Disturbing Behavior, directed by Roswell executive producer David Nutter and co-starring fellow cast-member William Sadler. He also appeared in Final Destination and Kill Me Later, and starred in the vampire movie The Forsaken and the independent drama Christina's House. Upcoming are the films Long Shot, Paper, Scissors, Stone and Biker Boyz.
